Planning to marry the third master

Xie Yunxiao returned to Bianjing and had a lot of things to do. He read the account books and sorted out trivial matters. He didn't ask for Prince Hui, so he asked Prince Hui to wait all night.

He was going to find Xie Xinnian, and after passing by the inn, he stopped by to find Mu Dalei. This man had no clue, so he had to give some advice in advance.

Mu Dalei had fallen asleep. When he heard the noise and saw someone coming, he got up and said, "Why are you here so late? But is there something wrong?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said, "Are you sure you will follow me from now on?"

Mu Dalei was puzzled and said: "Didn't we agree before? Why, do you dislike me?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "Tomorrow I will only talk about receiving the wind and washing away the dust, but not about the reward."

"What do you mean? Are we just going to drink and eat meat?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said: "Maybe they will ask you about the war. Just say whatever they ask. Don't take the initiative to ask about rewards."

"Sure, I listen to you."

Xie Yunxiao said: "Since you want to follow me, of course I have to tell you something."

"You said."

"Being in Bianjing is no different than being in a military camp. You don't have to be taboo about talking in the military camp. But in Bianjing, you have to think twice before replying to other people's words. If you can't reply, just say you don't understand."

"What do you mean? You have to be careful when you speak. Is this still a place for people to stay?" Mu Dalei couldn't help but ask.

Xie Yunxiao said: "In a place where scholars stay, the court emphasizes literature over martial arts, so scholars will be a little roundabout. You have never come into contact with such people before, but in the future you will inevitably have such people in Bianjing."

Mu Dalei frowned, then said: "I don't believe it."

Xie Yunxiao knew that this man had never suffered a loss before, and said: "I have told you everything that needs to be said in advance. It is best to remember what I said." After speaking, he stood up.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I still have something to do."

"You just came to Bianjing, where did you get so many things?"

After he finished speaking, Xie Yunxiao had disappeared.

When he arrived at Xie Mansion in Bianjing, Xie Yunxiao entered the house by climbing over the wall without going through the main entrance.

It was late at night and the whole house was quiet. Everyone must have been asleep.

Suddenly, a person, Zong Ming, who was guarding the courtyard, appeared and said, "Third Master."

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said, "Which room does Xin Nian live in?"

Zong Ming took Xie Yunxiao to knock on the door.

The person inside was woken up and asked: "Who?"

Xie Yunxiao said solemnly: "It's me."

There was movement in the house, and he hurriedly ran to open the door.

"Third uncle." Xie Xinnian was a little excited.

Xie Yunxiao entered the house and found a seat to sit while Zong Ming went to light the lamp.

Xie Yunxiao said: "Tell me, what happened?"

Xie Xinnian said first: "Third uncle, third aunt and I both thought you had..."

Xie Yunxiao raised his hand and said: "Something happened. I have been recovering from my injuries. Let's get down to business."

Xie Xinnian found some clothes to put on and said, "Due to the war in the past few years, business in several counties has been sluggish."

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said: "This kind of thing is normal, why did you close the store?"

"Xie Changshi opened a new teahouse and chess room next to the Xie family teahouse, and poached several shopkeepers. They are also from the Xie family. They are difficult to deal with, and my grandfather doesn't know what to do."

Xie Yunxiao frowned, this is very tricky, everyone likes novelty, Xie Changshi is not ignorant of business, but is more stable than Xie Changkang. After being silent, he thought about it and said: "Go ahead, if anyone has second thoughts, don't blame the Xie family for being rude. Inform the shopkeeper who left the Xie family before to go to the government."

"How to sue?"

"Sue them to line their own pockets and make false accounts."

"False accounts? How? I've never done it."

"Third uncle has never done this before. Just ask the people below to change the account books so that no one dares to use them. People with second thoughts are despised. I have a bad heart and cannot tolerate these people."

"Okay, Third Uncle. But Third Uncle, Tao Yiju has the potential to expand, and it is aimed at our Xie family."

The Xie family's teahouse cannot remain unchanged. Xie Yunxiao pondered and said, "Let me think about it and tell you what to do in a few days. Go to sleep first."

Xie Yunxiao stood up.

"Third uncle, where are you going?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "I will let you know when I have a place to live in Bianjing."

"Oh."

Xie Yunxiao patted Xie Xinnian and said, "You are good. It's great to be able to do this."

"I will do what my third uncle told me."

"Ah."

Xie Yunxiao left and went to sleep in his own room.

Zong Ming followed, "Third Master, what are the arrangements for your subordinates?" They still liked to follow Third Master.

Xie Yunxiao looked at Zong Ming and said, "Wait until I settle down in Bianjing. I haven't even decided on a place to live yet."

"Yes."

Xie Yunxiao went to the room where he slept. The room was always cleaned and spotless. Xie Yunxiao lit the lamp and looked around the room. There was a makeup box on the table. Xie Yunxiao stepped forward and opened the drawer of the makeup box. There was a simple beaded hairpin, and he wanted to know who it belonged to. He picked up the Zhu Chai, remembered some scenes, and then curled his lips. Remembering that she had said that she would not let him find her if she was pregnant, she pursed her lips again and muttered angrily: "I'm so angry just like that. I'm still so angry. Don't ask me to find her."

He was talking angrily, but he put the Zhu Chai into his sleeve, then went to bed, put on his clothes, lay down, and turned off the light.
